i feel like a castaway but i'm not afraid
you and me and a coupla dusty volumes
i wanna be your messiah but there's no way
i feel the tide roll in around us
you be the sea and i'll be the sky
i want you with me now don't wonder why
you be the sea and i'll be the sky
endeavor with me now don't wonder why
this love's like a labyrinth but i'm not afraid
you and me and a strong sense of forever
like the old Swiss Family Robinson
let's drift away
if we go down at least we'll drown together
(i can't forget you)
it's a little like this, it's a little like being afraid
it's a little like yesterday, though i don't mean
to invade Clouds rolled in front of your
face your tears became the rain i heard
wonderful thunder as you murmured as
you murmured my name
(take me far away, teach my soul to feel
that way You take me far away
it's wonderful, wonderful)
roll away, roll away with me
you be the sea
and i'll be the sky
